When Elf Kipling discovers his grandpa’s lute hidden away for him in the attic, the very lute his family had told him was long gone, he enlists the help of a somewhat nutty inn-owner, Phillipa, who claims her father can fix the lute’s broken string. Only trouble? Her father lives across the country, and since lutes have been banned for 50 years due to their dragon luring qualities, it’s not going to be an easy journey. But maybe fixing the lute’s string is the key to fixing everything else.
